Not a Creature Was Stirring: 10 Christmas Mouse Books for Preschoolers

From the famous opening of The Night Before Christmas, where "not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," to "the one speck of food" the Grinch left behind that was "too small even for a mouse," mice have been featured in numerous beloved Christmas tales. My boys love mice and I'll admit to being quite fond of the little furry guys myself, so we are always on the lookout for Christmas books for kids that feature mice. I've picked out 10 Christmas mouse books for you, some that are our all time favorites and a few on our "to read" list.This post contains affiliate links. See my Disclosure Policy for details.

3. Christmas Mice by Bethany Roberts. This is a fun little book about a family of mice busily prepping for Christmas, and even making peace with the cat for the holiday. My boys love Christmas Mice.

4. Christmas Mouse by Anne Mortimer. Mouse has a lot to do as she gets ready for Christmas in this sweet story. I love the timeless look of the illustrations in this one.

5. Christmas with the Mousekins by Maggie Smith. The Mousekins enjoy all sorts of holiday fun in this wonderful book. Besides a cute story, this book is filled with crafts and recipes to try with your kids - so awesome! Christmas with the Mousekins would make a great gift for the crafty kid on your list.

7. Gingerbread Mouseby Katy Bratun. When Mouse's house is destroyed she goes looking for a new home, and finds a "sweet" place to call her own. This book is perfect to go along with a gingerbread house building (or eating) activity.

8. The Biggest Christmas Tree Everby Steven Kroll. The boys love this one - a Christmas addition to "The Biggest Ever" series. It's perfect to read before you go pick out or put up your own Christmas tree.

9. Merry Christmas, Mr. Mouse by Caralyn Buehner. This is a brand new Christmas mouse book and I can't wait to read it! A #1 new release on Amazon, the reviews are fantastic and it's on our must read list.

10. Mouse's First Christmasby Lauren Thompson. Another one on our must read list, this book is billed as a take off on The Night Before Christmas. I can't wait to check it out!
